Behringer P16 HQ Description

The Behringer P16 HQ is built for musicians and performers who need precise, reliable control over their personal monitor mixes. With 16 channels of input via ULTRANET, users can quickly balance levels, adjust panning, and shape tone using the intuitive control surface with backlit channel buttons and LED indicators.

Audio quality is a major upgrade, thanks to a high-resolution 114 dB D/A converter and improved analog output stage. This ensures clean, noise-free monitoring even at high volumes, making it ideal for demanding live performances and in-ear monitoring setups.

Each channel includes a 3-band EQ with adjustable mid frequency, allowing detailed tonal shaping. Additional features like solo, mute, and output limiting provide both flexibility and hearing protection. The system also offers total recall and preset storage, enabling users to instantly access their preferred mixes.

The P16 HQ integrates seamlessly into ULTRANET ecosystems, drawing power and audio from a single CAT5e cable. It can be daisy-chained or connected through distribution hubs for larger setups, and includes MIDI input for real-time external control. Whether mounted on a mic stand or used in a studio environment, it delivers professional monitoring control in a compact format.
